Description Harald Koenig 2008-04-28 09:31:31 UTC 
during package installation and update there is this (IMHO awful, ugly and useless) continuation "Remaining..." bar at the bottom.

how can I disable this button ? because of (a) reducing optical waste and 
(b) it needs ~200-300 kBytes/sec X11 traffic using ssh X11 redirection e.g. when trying to remote-administrate a system...  (yes, I know about yast, zypper, smart,  apt, ... but sometimes the yast2 gui _is_ helpfull for package selection and update inspection before triggering...)

talking about that "Package Installation" window:  
when I shrink the vertical size  of this window to a very small height, just that useless "Remaining" tele-game remains.  it would be great, if the least display for smallwindow heights wouldbe the top field (package sizes/counts and ETAs) or at least the middle (2nd from top) one with the package list.

you're talking about the knight rider animation? It's supposed to be a progress bar and it was always a progress bar, so I assume you're not complaining about this one.

IIRC it was not so "nervous" in 10.3, isn't it ?

my current issue is the network traffic I see using "ssh" to the remote 11.0-beta system running yast2 pm.  if that'd be a DSL line I'd _very_ happy if I could configure that knight rider stuff off (and it would reduce the risk of getting eye cancer, not talking about epileptic people;)

Wasn't the Knight Rider thingie this already fixed?
